Lost and Found: A Journey of Self Mastery

A humorous yet practical book of life lessons from the seminal Little House on the Prairie,
 blending Laura Ingalls Wilder&rsquo;s timeless teachings with her 
surprisingly timely penchant for homesteading, crafting, and the 
lifestyle we now call Cottagecore. &nbsp; The Little House on the Prairie
 was a childhood TV classic&nbsp;for a generation of kids, and Laura Ingalls 
Wilder&rsquo;s novels have never gone out of style for young bookworms. Her 
stories of her family&rsquo;s life in the 1870s offer countless gems of 
wisdom, and many facets of their lifestyle and the skills they relied on
 have become some of the hottest trends of today, from sourdough bread 
and modern pioneering to DIY prairie dresses and needlepoint. Little House Life Hacks&nbsp;playfully
 compiles the most crucial takeaways from that world,&nbsp;practical enough 
to work for pioneering stock and updated for today&rsquo;s evolving world. The
 Ingalls are the perfect reminders of what&rsquo;s important: love, family, 
community, honest work, and integrity. Alongside the life advice are 
selected inspirational quotes from the&nbsp;Little House&nbsp;books and 
show and fun pop culture tidbits&nbsp;(like that The Rock&rsquo;s first celebrity 
crush was original mean girl Nellie Oleson), as well as&nbsp;with meaningful 
takeaways for creating more balance, wellness, and fun in all aspects of
 your life.Angie Bailey&nbsp;is a&nbsp;Gen X pop-culture nerd, award-winning writer and humorist, and the author of the&nbsp;Texts from Mittens&nbsp;daily cartoon, books, and desk calendars. She shares her life with one witty husband, plus two human and two feline children.&nbsp;Susie Shubert&nbsp;helps
 others navigate their unexpected journeys as a writer and content 
creator for&nbsp;modernprairie.com, a tarot advisor, and a former graduate of
 the school of rock. The basis of all that she does is her life coaching
 certification through Oprah&rsquo;s favorite, Dr. Martha Beck, and the loving
 support of her husband and two kids. They both live in Minneapolis.&nbsp;

But most of all,
 Morris loves his classroom&rsquo;s dress-up center and its tangerine dress.Morris
 is a little boy who loves using his imagination. He dreams about having
 space adventures, paints beautiful pictures and sings the loudest 
during circle time. But most of all, Morris loves his classroom&rsquo;s 
dress-up center &mdash; he loves wearing the tangerine dress.But the 
children in Morris&rsquo;s class don&rsquo;t understand. Dresses, they say, are for 
girls. And Morris certainly isn&rsquo;t welcome in the spaceship some of his 
classmates are building. Astronauts, they say, don&rsquo;t wear dresses.One
 day when Morris feels all alone, and sick from the taunts of his 
classmates, his mother lets him stay home from school. Morris reads 
about elephants, and puts together a puzzle, and dreams of a fantastic 
space adventure with his cat, Moo.Inspired by his dream, Morris 
paints the incredible scene he saw, and brings it with him to school. He
 builds his own spaceship, hangs his painting on the front of it and 
takes two of his classmates on an outer space adventure.With 
warm, dreamy illustrations Isabelle Malenfant perfectly captures 
Morris&rsquo;s vulnerability and the vibrancy of his imagination. This is a 
sweetly told story about the courage and creativity it takes to be 
different.<h2 class="text--center mb-s"></h2>CHRISTINE BALDACCHINO is a writer and artist with a background in early
